One day the fetus is known as Connor and the next it is known as fetus. I love the media.

Well, you can't officially have a name unless you have a birth certificate. And you can't have a birth certificate if you haven't been born. So, I guess technically, "fetus" is the proper term in this case.

Lee Peterson was kicked out of the courtroom when he called Brent Rocha (Laci's brother) a liar during his testimony today. Dennis Rocha told Scott: "Your going to burn in hell for this.". The brother said that he wanted to kill Scott, but wants to watch him "twist in the wind". Sharon Rocha is now addressing the court. Per MSNBC.

Actually, he hasn't yet been sentenced. The process was motions for a new trial (Denied as I understand it), victim impact statements (Ongoing as I type) and then the sentencing. I think the Judge indicated he would impose the sentence but it hasn't been set yet.

Laci's brother Brent said that "Laci will be coming to take you away." to Scott Peterson. Brent Rocha told Scott: "It's sad what you put your mother through" and "Scott you are truly a loser." Sharon Rocha called Scott a baby killer, evil murderer, coward....and a product of the environment he grew up in.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) - Scott Peterson was sentenced to death Wednesday for murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, more than two years ago.

Peterson, shackled at the waist and wearing a dark suit, was escorted into court under heavy security Wednesday. Judge Alfred A. Delucchi denied a defense request for a new trial and upheld the jury's recommendation that he be sentenced to death.

Spare me, please. If this were your son would you be calling him fetus?

(If you're not part of the solution, you ARE the problem.)

How about never. They will never execute him. I think the likely senario is that he will be murdered while in prison.

On a side note. I was rather put off by Ms. Roche regarding her complaints about how the courthouse is full of strangers that didnt know lacy and she thought they should not be there and laci's friends and family should basically hold priority over the available seats.

"California's death row is significantly larger than Texas's. And everyone knows why."

Exactly!

And if they deported all the illegals which accounts for a third of the prison population and executed the death row crowd we could eliminate the overpopulation and cut the costs of prisons dramatically!

I do believe that Scotts mother has had a rough life....her father was murdered, she had been married at least once before she married Lee Peterson. I don't think she is a very nice person...quite manipulative and that's where Scott learned it.
